Plausible notion.

Actually, there probably are a fair number of people who have, over the years, found artifacts in their parents' attics which they believed to be rare and precious historical items but which the parents had in fact picked up as cheap novelties. Not all 'fakes' are put forth by deliberate forgers; some are put forth by people who simply have no real idea what they're selling.
